Little Drummer Boy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn king to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
To lay before the king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
So, to honor him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
When we come
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum-pa
Little baby, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I am a poor boy, too pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I have no gifts to bring, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
That's fit to give a king, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Shall I play for you, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Mary nodded, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my drum for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
I played my best for him, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Rum-pa-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum
Pa-rum-pa-pum
Pum-pum-pum-pum-pa
Oh, ohohohohoh, ohoh
Ohohohohoh, ohoh
Oh, ohohohohoh, ohoh
Ohohohohoh, ohoh
Oh, ohohohohoh, ohoh
Ohohohohoh, ohoh
Ohohohohoh, ohoh
Ohohohohoh, ohohoh
Come, they told me, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
A newborn king to see, pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
For me and my drum
Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
